The key features of ReSharper's code analysis are also supported in CSS. You can find the detailed information on these features in the corresponding topics of the Code Analysis section. In the main topic of the section, you can also find the feature matrix and check what exactly is supported in CSS.

In this topic, you can find some examples of using code analysis features in CSS.

Code Inspection

ReSharper's static code analysis can detect more than 150 different errors and problems in CSS code.

To look through the list of available inspections for CSS, open the Code Inspection | Inspection Severity page of ReSharper options, and then expand the CSS node.

Examples of Quick-fixes

Create styleIf there is a class name that does not have the corresponding style rule, ReSharper highlights such name and provides the following quick-fix. After applying the quick-fix, the corresponding class selector and empty declaration block are inserted.

Extract styleIf there is a style attribute that contains style information for the current element and there is a class attribute with a name, that is not used as a class selector in the corresponding style sheet, then ReSharper detects such situation and offers the following quick-fix. After applying the quick-fix, the appropriate style rule is added to the corresponding style sheet.

Viewing CSS hierarchy

ReSharper comes with a handy view that allows you to see the whole hierarchy of css selectors. For each selector in the hierarchy you can quickly view its definition.

To build a hierarchy, set the caret on a style selector, and choose ReSharper | Inspect | Hierarchies in the main menu, or press Ctrl+Alt+H.

ReSharper can also build the CSS hierarchy internally, showing you which styles override other styles and allowing you to navigate up the hierarchy. To toggle this feature, use the Build CSS style hierarchy check box on the Code Editing | CSS | Inspections page of ReSharper options.

Making ReSharper ignore specific code

ReSharper allows you to ignore specific files, folders and file masks in different ways. You can configure ignored files on the following options pages:
